Those would be correct for your GS. It also appears , by the date code on the wire, they may be originals.

Those are all really nice. If the plug wires don't check out Lectric Ltd http://www.lectriclimited.com/mainpage.htm sells an exact copy with the 1st Q date for $80. Hope they work for you though. Great job.

Those are the wires I bought. You need to save or scrounge the original plug boots though.

Here is the picture from Lectric Ltd. Shows the correct boot. Maybe they upgraded them.

Dan, maybe so. I had to grab an old set of GM boots from eBay. Those boots pictured did not come on the set I bought.
